Assalammualaikum, kalau tak jawab dosa, kalau jawab sayang


Alifah sekarang berada dalam keadaan dilema. Kenapa?
Setiap kali Alifah buka laptop, Alifah akan tertanya-tanya sama ada Alifah nak dengar lagu Melayu atau lagu Mat Saleh.#confius
Bila confius mulalah start untuk memegang kepala sehingga selendang dekat kepala pun hampir tercabut sebab asyik main kepala sahaja.

Ini hanyalah sebahagian dari comment

Bila Alifah post di twitter and facebook, ramai orang yang respond.

Malah ada juga yang suruh Alifah support Malay songs rather than English songs.

But, I'm still confius.

Lagi-lagi confius bila tengok video Matluhtfi.

Lagu melayu memang kebanyakannya penuh dengan tema putus cinta, cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan, cinta berputik dan sebagainya. Jadi semua lagu melayu kebanyakannya berkisahkan pasal cinta. Malah lagu kanak-kanak pun pasal cinta.

Ingatkan lagi lagu-lagu melayu zaman 90-an? Lagu pada zaman tersebut lagi lah jiwang meleleh sampai geli Alifah nak dengar.

Jadi, lagu melayu memang banyak bertemakan cinta sehinggakan ramai pendengar muak dan loya bila mendengar bait-bait lirik lagu tersebut.

Matluthfi brings me to this video.

Lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh kumpulan Forteen memang tidak dinafikan mempunyai rentak yang tersendiri. Malah lagu yang dinyanyikan juga agak sedap di dengar di halwa telinga.

Tapi, bila lihat lirik lagu 'Berdua Bersatu'

Kenapa cinta kita
Selalu saja diduga
Bagai ada tak merestu
Kita berdua bersatu

Atau mungkin kau dan aku
Ditakdir untuk berpisah
Walaupun melawan arus
Kita berdua bersatu

Seringkaliku mendengar
Patah tumbuh hilang berganti
Tetapiku tidak mahu
Cinta selain darimu

Jika denganmu salah
Kutak mahu yang benar
Jika denganmu rebah biarlah kutercalar
Walau dilanda badai
Kusanggup kerna ku mahu
Kita berdua bersatu

Jika denganmu kabur
Kutak mahu yang jelas
Jika denganmu hanyut
Biarlah aku lemas
Walau dilanda ribut
Kusanggup kerna ku mahu
Kita berdua bersatu

Alifah hanya dapat fikir, kenapa bila sebut soal cinta mesti berkenaan topik putus cinta?

Malah lirik yang diciptakan juga menggambarkan bahawa lelaki tersebut sanggup buat apa sahaja untuk perempuan tersebut. Well, lirik sudah cantik tapi terlalu banyak hiperbola. Kalau sudah tahu cinta tidak direstui, kenapa tak terus sahaja explain dekat parents si dia supaya mereka dapat accept? Nasib baik lirik lagu sahaja.Pheuw.

Kenapa?

Cuba kita selidik kehidupan realiti. Kenapa banyak sangat orang buang bayi sekarang ini?

Sebab mereka ini terlalu mengikut kata hati dan nafsu mereka semasa mereka bercinta.

Sama seperti lirik lagu yang terdapat di semua lagu melayu. Si lelaki sanggup berkata ' aku akan redah lautan api untuk mendapatkan kamu, wahai kekanda'. Tapi bila dah dapat si perempuan tersebut termasuklah mahkota perempuan tersebut, si lelaki mula lah cabut lari dan tak mau bertanggungjawab.Okay, Alifah sudah mula melalut sekarang ini. Jadi, kalau mengenai bab 'cinta', sepatutnya pencipta lirik kena lah perluaskan lagi skopnya.Cinta tak semestinya untuk sang teruna mahupun sang dara. Cinta untuk family pun boleh termasuklah kepada sang Pencipta. Faham?

Jadi, industri hiburan Malaysia sepatutnya kena berfikir cara-cara untuk mencipta lagu yang pelbagai. Bukan sekadar bab 'cinta' sahaja. Cubalah kalau  Malaysia tiru style Korea. Alifah maksudkan bukannya tiru 100% semua stail Korea. Okay. K-Pop menjadi kegilaan orang ramai disebabkan industri mereka mempunyai pelbagai pilihan lagu selain lagu berkenaan 'cinta'. So, dari K-pop kita boleh mengambil pengajaran macam mana mereka menjadi kreatif macam itu.Okay, berbalik kepada topik asal.

Bila sebut mengenai lagu Inggeris pula, ada juga yang bagus ada juga yang tak bagus. Kenapa?

Sebab kebanyakan lagu Inggeris atau lagu Mat Saleh berkisah mengenai topik sex. Why sex?

Euw. Tapi ada juga lagu yang bagus seperti lagu yang dinyanyi oleh Adele seperti 'Someone Like You' dan 'Rolling in the Deep'.

 Memang tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa lirik-lirik yang ada dalam lagu tersebut berkisahkan mengenai kehidupan beliau.

Lirik 'Someone Like You'

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over yet

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Lirik lagu 'Rolling in the Deep':

"Rolling In The Deep"

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

You could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat. 

Lirik lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh Adele berkisahkan kehidupan realiti malah lagu cinta seperti 'Someone like you' juga berkisahkan cinta yang realiti di mana lelaki yang dahulu pernah dicintai oleh beliau sudah berkahwin dan beliau berjanji untuk mencari seorang lelaki yang sama seperti lelaki yang dicintainya.Itu lah kisah cinta realiti dan sweet sahaja didengar. Bukan seperti lirik lagu yang hiperbola mengenai cinta. Tapi itulah hakikat. Kalau berkenaan cinta, tak semestinya kita kena berkorban dengan terjun di laut mahu pun sungai untuk membuktikan bahawa kita betul-betul mencintai dia. Well, industri hiburan Malaysia wajib membuat sesuatu supaya lirik-lirik lagu tidak menjadi topik untuk diburukkan semata-mata.

Jadi, Alifah memilih untuk mendengar sahaja lahu K-Pop seperti IU sebab lebih rancak dan sedap di dengar di halwa telinga. Jadi, nak cipta lirik lagu tue biarlah yang logik serta mempunyai banyak genre.

My favourite song, hope you'll enjoy it.

Ini hanyalah pendapat Alifah sahaja. Masing-masing mempunyai pendapat sendiri kan?

Happy reading guys. Hope you guys enjoy it.^^
